Hernici

The Hernici were an Italic tribe of ancient Italy who lived in Latium between the Fucine Lake and the Sacco River, bordering the Volsci to the south and the Aequi and Marsi to the north. They were allied to the Roman Republic during its early years, but they allied with the Volsci against Rome in 495 BC. In 475 BC, they fought alongside the Latins against the Aequi and Volsci, and alongside the Romans against the Sabines. In 362 and 306 BC, they broke away from Rome, but they were conquered by 225 BC and turned into Roman citizens.
